Following are the few words and phrases to be found in early works dealing with this region: Appada. The [Sewee?] Indians called out this word to the English and it is probably corrupt Spanish.10 Hiddeskeh. This is said to mean "sickly." 17 Hiddie dod. Described as "a word of great kindness among them"; the Indians who used this, however, also referred to the English as "comraro." evidently an attempt at the Spanish camarada. so we can not feel sure that hiddie dod is not a corrupt Spanish expression as well.1* Hiddy doddy Comobado Anoles Westoe Skobbye, " English very good friends, Westoes are nought." " The words here are under the same suspicion as the one just mentioned and must therefore be handled carefully; moreover, Indian words contained in old documents are so often transcribed wrongly that we can never be certain of the exact form where we have but one example to which to refer. (Swanton)
